More people than ever before are putting their money in stocks and mutual funds, and many of them are concerned about the social records and commitments of the companies they invest in. Companies earning high marks for responsible actions will find that their good works can be translated into investors' confidence and support. The Council on Economic Priorities, a public research organization dedicated to accurate and impartial analysis of the social and environmental records of corporations, provides just such detailed information in The Corporate Report Card. Each of the more than 250 entries are rated from A to F on information regarding the company's record including:

* Interaction with the community, volunteerism, charitable donations
* Benefits: 401K, medical coverage

Where applicable, more than 20 company-specific "alerts" are also noted including weapons testing, animal testing, tobacco interests, nuclear power, product safety and international concerns Armed with the data from The Corporate Report Card, consumers, investors, managers, employees and activists can cast their economic votes as conscientiously as their political votes.
* The Corporate Report Card will appeal to investors and to job hunters and those concerned about the companies producing the products they buy.
